  • Nice margarita riff! A slice of jalapeno added to the muddle works well too. — ★★★★★
  • I love ginger/agave mix. I used an old lime. I *need* to try again.
  • A nice mix of heat & sweet. I minced the ginger before muddling: a mistake. It didn’t get much added flavor, and then necessitated double-straining. — ★★★★★
  • Incredible how well the mezcal and ginger works together
  • Perfection! What else do you need? — ★★★★★
  • that is a seriously good cocktail. did the mezcal float as suggested in the link to the original
  • 3/8 oz Sweetened Ginger Juice 3/8 oz Honey Syrup Float the Islay

El Monje (The Monk)

1 1⁄2 oz Whiskey (argentine whisky)
1⁄2 oz Campari (or Cazalis Bitter (argentine brand))
1⁄2 oz Curaçao (or Hesperidina (argentine bitter orange liquor)
1 oz Bénédictine (or Monacal liquor (argentine brand))
Instructions

Stir all ingredients in a Boston glaas filled with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a flamed orange twist.

Notes

This drink is made with argentine ingredients and brands but I have named similar brands so that everyone can do it.

History

"Hesperidina" is a little sweet liquor made with bitter orange peels. "Cazalis bitter" is similar to Campari even in color and the "Monacal" is an argentine Benedictine.

  • Excellent gulp-able low abv drink. Reminds you of watermelon. Elderflower is subtle. — ★★★★
  • Maybe try with a bit more St. Germain... — ★★★★★
  • This is really an outstandingly refreshing drink. It feels to me like one *could* pour a bit heavier on the Pisco if one wanted to -- but as is this is a perfect summer backyard party / barbecue drink.

Curated to revert to the the authentic recipe. Altered version suggested substituting 7-Up for seltzer. The authentic recipe is more true to the spirit of Kindred Cocktails. Feel free to use the Your Comments section of your cocktail book entry to track your personal preferences. Thanks much for posting!

sjdiaz21 commented on 12/15/2011:

I like the touch of sweetness that comes from lemon-lime soda, kinda balances out the bitter. Maybe I'll try with San Pellegrino Lemon or Orange Sparkling water as well.

sfnyc commented on 7/07/2023:

Although the specs call for grapefruit juice, I was a bit thrown off by the photo of grapefruit soda. Anyway, I went with the juice, of course, but ended up adding 1/4 oz passion fruit syrup to balance out the tartness.

Chocolate Lady

1 oz Gin
1 oz Triple sec
1 oz Lemon juice
1 oz Crème de Cacao
Instructions

Shake, straight up, whatever garnish you feel appropriate.

Notes

Try experimenting with the amount of Creme de Cacao and gin. Some prefer less chocolate. Some might want White Lady-levels of gin (2 parts gin, 1 part each of everything else).

History

I was trying to recall the recipe for the 20th Century and knew it was a corpse reviver 2, minus one ingredient (and the absinthe) and adding Creme de Cacao. I substituted the wrong one, but I like this a lot! It's effectively a white lady with creme de cacao.

Not sure I get the swizzle part. What would you sub for these unobtainium-based bitters?

Zachary Pearson commented on 12/14/2011:

Dan,

Whisking the hot milk into the dry shaken mixture is meant to mimic a swizzle - it also ensures that you don't make scrambled eggs ;)

I would substitute Angostura for the Swizzle bitters, but you could always email Adam Elmegirab ;)

Thanks,

Zachary

  • I like Dan's suggestions and would try them next time. I didn't think the sweetness was overpowering but the rye has does struggle to stand up to the Becherovka.
  • Used Fee Bros. bitters and a scant 1/2 syrup. Sweet and orangey, with an interesting finish.
  • Nice. Strong Cinnamon from the Becherovka. Used 1.5 oz rye, 1/4 oz simple, and added 2 dashes Regans'. — ★★★

Dan commented on 12/13/2011:

A nice drink, although I fiddled with it a bit. I used only 1/4 oz simple, but then I tend to like my drinks without detectable sweetness. I upped the rye to 1 1/2 oz to get it to stand up to the Becherovka. I added 2 dashes of Regans' orange bitters, which reinforces the orange notes from the twist and adds significant bitterness (since Becherovka is so mild). I really enjoyed this drink, especially since it highlights an unusual ingredient that is pretty widely available.

AmyJ commented on 2/22/2013:

Nice. Good call re Regan's bitters . Used Rittenhouse Rye, which stands up well. Thanks!

Bevx commented on 2/22/2013:

Finally tried this one. Yup, delicious...Made it "Dan's way," except I split the difference on the syrup at around 1/3 oz. Used the new Dickel Rye, which worked great... First drink I've tried using a "tiny" amount of Fernet where the flavors mingled so perfectly that if I didn't <em>know</em> it was there, I might not have guessed it.

Cuban Dokta

2 oz Light rum, Havana Club 3
1 oz Green Crème de Menthe (DeKuyper or Bols)
1⁄3 oz Fernet Branca
1 ? Cola, Coca Cola (Top with)
Instructions

Shake the first three ingredients with ice. Strain into an ice-filled glass and top with Coca-Cola. Add a mint sprig as a garnish and serve with straws.

Notes

In my country "1882" is a good option in fernet.

History

A good mix of Cuba Libre and a drink very famous in my country called "Fernet con Cola".

Notes

Rob Roy with Mezcal. Use good, smokey one. No worms! Use Vya for vermouth and it's totally new world.

History

Rob Roy was Scotts hero. Benito Juarez was from Oaxaca, Mezcal's hometown. Wikipedia:He resisted the French occupation, overthrew the Empire, restored the Republic, and used liberal efforts to modernize the country. Has "hero" written all over him.

  • I made with Ilegal Joven - not as smokey as some of my other preferred mezcals. I had some coffee infused Antica Formula - so used that. I also stirred with one large cube instead of shaking. It's boozy...but good.
